Kulamalu Park stairway injury and missing railing
Maui County
Summary
A woman fractured her hip at Kulamalu Park in Pukalani after reaching for a railing that wasn't there on a stairway landing. The park was privately built, dedicated to the county in 2011, and met code then — but no repairs have been made since the 2024 accident, and kids use those stairs regularly for Pop Warner football.
